General Discussion for politics in the UK.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and either a link to reputable news source, or be a text post.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

We are friends with [email protected], a uk news community on a more general site.

This is the dumbest opinion I've heard in a while. So the government = prison guard.

I mean analytically the comment is somewhat correct, the government in most of the world doesn't actually, take responsibility for you and doesn't adequately care for it's citizens despite claiming to be from the people for the people. Liberal government doesn't really work for the people, it works for the owning class.

Yes. Like it ever was different in any country.
